Spiritual direction is awesome. It is a relatively new idea to me, but spiritual direction itself is not new. It is not counseling or therapy. Spiritual direction is deepening one's understanding of God's Presence. This can happen in retreats or small groups within churches or one-on-one with a spiritual director. PTS encourages students to seek a spiritual director for many reasons. Anything to get me to see and feel God more clearly is a wonderful thing. In the hectic schedules of our lives, it is important to set aside time to listen for God and to process God's working. Spiritual directors come in many different forms. They are clergy and lay people, male and female, younger and older, and in a huge range of faith group associations. If you are looking for someone to walk with you on your journey and be present with you, a spiritual director is a good choice.
